Running Backs That May Go Too High In Your Fantasy Football Draft

You certainly want to be solid at the running back position on your fantasy football team. Because of this RBs will go the fastest in your fantasy draft. However, there are some running backs that could go to high this year based on their projections.
Travis Henry's fantasy stock rose big time when he signed with the Broncos due to past running back successes on that team. He should get more carries than Mike Bell this season, but there's a chance that coach Mike Shanahan will use them both more evenly than people think. Henry has also missed 14 games in the last 3 seasons. He could be a risk as a first round pick.
Clinton Portis had injury issues last season which allowed for the emergence of Ladell Betts last season in Washington. Portis has had some great seasons there with a ton of carries, so he may have more wear and tear than most 25 year old running backs. Of course there is a chance he comes back strong this year. If you pick him in your fantasy draft it's an absolute must that you get Betts later in your draft for insurance.
Duece McCallister of the Saints has seen his best years and has had multiple injuries over the years. Playing in the same backfield as super-athlete Reggie Bush on a pass-first team certainly doesn't help his case. It's very likely that New Orleans will give Bush more touches this year.
Other running backs that could get selected too high in many fantasy football drafts in 2007 include Brandon Jacobs of the Giants, Warrick Dunn of the Falcons, and Julius Jones of the Cowboys.
